Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

When Mu Wanqing saw that Ah Zhu had taken the ruby, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

"It's my turn, it's my turn." Although Wang Yuyan chose Ah Zhu first, she would be very happy as long as she could beat Mu Wanqing.

Huang Rong picked up the only string of pearls that she had set her eyes on long ago, but she was worried that Wang Yuyan would pick it up, so she deliberately peeked at Wang Yuyan in an attempt to mislead her. Wang Yuyan was fooled, but Huang Rong was not happy.

"Brother Chenliu, what is the name of this string of pearls?" Huang Rong picked up the pearls and looked at Chenliu eagerly, hoping that he could give it a good name.

"That string of pearls is called Fairy's Tears." Chen Liu said after looking at the pearls.

Huang Rong was immediately delighted when she heard this. This name was no worse than Heart of the Ocean, and she even thought it was better. Huang Rong also handed the pearl to Chen Liu and said, "Brother Chen Liu, put it on me."

"Okay!" Wang Yuyan and Azhu both wore it. It wouldn't make much difference if Huang Rong was one more, and it wouldn't make much less if she was one less.

After putting on the necklace, Huang Rong shyly stood on tiptoe and kissed Chen Liu on the cheek.

The third person to choose was Zhong Ling, who picked a diamond necklace. Diamonds were not considered valuable in ancient China, primarily used for tools and materials, not considered treasures. Diamonds were generally referred to as diamonds or diamonds in ancient China. This diamond necklace was a gift from Borneo, and it was also stolen by Qu Lingfeng. Zhong Ling thought it was beautiful, so she chose it.

"Brother Chenliu, what is this called?"

"This one is called the Bright Star."

"Brother Chenliu, put it on me." Zhong Ling showed a happy smile on her face.

Ah Zhu liked red, while Ah Bi liked green, so she picked the emerald, and Chen Liu named her "Bi Yao".

Mu Nianci and Mu Wanqing both chose jade pendants, while Chen Liu named them Moonlight and Sea Tears. Finally, Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo chose jade bracelets, naming them "Aurora" and "Yingluo."

Chapter 132 Innate

"When do we leave?"

"It will take a few more days."

"Wait a few days?" Chen Liu was a little confused.

"Brother Chenliu, we bought a boat yesterday." Ah Zhu said, "The boat is still being renovated."

After Chen Liu and Mu Nianci left yesterday, Azhu and Abi went straight to buy a seagoing vessel. Mantuo Villa had plenty of money, so they simply paid 30% more for the new vessel. Coincidentally, the ship's owner's maritime trade business wasn't doing well, so he sold it. This time, Chen Liu was going to Daming to escape disaster and retrieve treasure, and transporting the treasure would definitely require a ship. Wang Yuyan didn't trust the people of Daming, so she not only bought a seagoing vessel, but also brought along the maids who had escorted them to Lin'an Prefecture. These people were all elderly people who had been with Li Qingluo for at least several years, and they were trustworthy. She would feel more at ease when she entrusted them with the task of retrieving and transporting the treasure.

The ship Wang Yuyan purchased was a new cargo ship, having only sailed a few times. She had the upper cargo hold removed and converted into bedrooms, a tea room, a lounge, a practice room, and other amenities. She also renovated these rooms to make them more comfortable. The maids at Mantuo Villa also ordered a batch of Song Dynasty goods, which were in high demand in the Ming Dynasty, for shipment as a cover.

Under Wang Yuyan's financial incentives, the ship's carpenters toiled day and night to renovate the ship. By the time it was finished, the cargo ship no longer looked like a cargo ship, but more like a pleasure boat. It even had a small garden measuring several dozen square meters.

The ship is about 38 meters long, 10 meters wide, and powered by sails. The largest and most luxurious bedroom on the ship is naturally Wang Yuyan's, also from Chen Liu.

"Brother Chen Liu, let's go and see our bedroom." Wang Yuyan grabbed Chen Liu's hand and dragged him towards the bedroom.

"No, it's still early in the morning."

"Brother Chen Liu, what are you thinking about? I'm just showing you our bedroom."

"Hey hey hey! Slow down! Slow down!"

When Huang Rong saw Wang Yuyan get on the boat, she pulled Chen Liu into the bedroom and was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"Sister Wanqing, Sister Yuyan has been hiding in the bedroom with Brother Chenliu every day these days." Huang Rong approached Mu Wanqing and whispered provocatively, "Sister Yuyan is too overbearing! She won't even give in to you. You two are sisters, after all!"

Mu Wanqing knew Huang Rong was trying to sow discord, but she was also angry. Who had Wang Yuyan been so selfish? But she didn't fall for it. She knew Huang Rong had bad intentions. Mu Wanqing didn't fall for it, and Huang Rong didn't care. If it didn't work once, she'd try it twice. If it didn't work twice, she'd try it three times. One day, they would become enemies.

However, Huang Rong's plan soon fell through. Wang Yuyan knew that eating alone would definitely cause complaints from her sisters, so after occupying Chen Liu for a few days, she finally relaxed her control over him. This also made Chen Liu feel relieved. Even if Wang Yuyan gave him a lot of tonic food every day, he couldn't withstand her abuse.

After two days of rest, Chen Liu finally replenished his energy and was ready to move again. His eyes kept darting between Mu Wanqing and Mu Nianci, wondering who to go to that night. Wang Yuyan had been making him nutritious food every day for the past two days. It was so nutritious that if he didn't let out some of his energy, he'd have a nosebleed.

Listening to Chen Liu's inner voice, Mu Wanqing and Mu Nianci's hearts couldn't help but beat faster, thinking to themselves: It's finally their turn.

At night, Chen Liu was the first one to sneak into Mu Nianci's room, which made Mu Wanqing so angry that her teeth were itching, and Mu Nianci's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

The vastness of the sea always makes one feel open-minded, but after seeing it for too long, it becomes just that. On the sea, Chen Liu practiced diligently, spending almost all of his free time on it. There was no way around it; his cultivation was still too low. Although he always found a sense of accomplishment with Mu Wanqing and Mu Nianci, he felt guilty and short of breath whenever he met Wang Yuyan.

Over a month later, the ship had entered the inland waters of the Ming Dynasty and was about to reach Fuzhou Port, its first stop after the Ming Dynasty. It shouldn't have taken this long, but the maids on board had previously managed canal boats and had never managed a sea vessel. Furthermore, since this was their first time at sea, they were unfamiliar with the conditions, so the journey took twice as long as normal.

In the early morning, Chen Liu sat cross-legged at the bow, channeling his Qi into his Ren and Du meridians. Wang Yuyan sat behind him, her hands pressed against his back, slowly channeling Bei Ming Qi into his body. Over the past month, Chen Liu had already opened up all twelve meridians. As long as he could open up the Ren and Du meridians, he would be able to break through to the Xiantian stage. Of course, Wang Yuyan also contributed to this rapid progress. After all, Wang Yuyan wasn't one to enjoy without giving back. Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan practiced the Bei Ming Divine Art together, sharing the same Qi source. Therefore, Wang Yuyan would use her own Qi to help Chen Liu open up his meridians without compromising her own foundation.

As daylight approached, Wang Yuyan withdrew her hands and used her internal energy to restore her true qi. Once her true qi had recovered, she sat aside, watching Chen Liu, who was making his final push, steam rising from his head.

After the last acupuncture point on his Ren and Du meridians was opened, Chen Liu suddenly felt a connection between his body and the universe, and his spiritual power surged. In a mysterious way, Chen Liu could sense Wang Yuyan sitting behind him. Although he couldn't see her with his own eyes, he knew she was there. He could "see" her figure, "see" her face, "see" her looking at him. The feeling was wonderful, but the range was limited, only about three feet, or about one meter.

Spiritual consciousness? Chen Liu was a bit surprised and doubtful. Through Wang Yuyan, he already knew the martial arts realms and their characteristics in this comprehensive martial arts world. Xiantian masters could only begin to sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth at best. They could absorb this energy to strengthen their physical bodies, making them stronger, their meridians more robust, their dantian and acupoints more stable, able to accommodate more zhenqi, and their internal organs more powerful and less susceptible to damage. Only at the Grandmaster stage could one develop spiritual consciousness and integrate the primordial energy of heaven and earth into their own zhenqi, making the power of zhenqi even more powerful.

However, Chen Liu discovered that he had already begun to generate spiritual awareness as soon as he broke through to the Xiantian stage. Although its range was small, only three feet square, only one-third the range of an ordinary Grandmaster, spiritual awareness was a powerful weapon for preventing sneak attacks. As long as he had spiritual awareness, it was almost impossible to be attacked by surprise. Moreover, Chen Liu saw countless pure white particles rushing towards him frantically in his spiritual awareness, entering his body through the Baihui acupoint on his head and beginning to merge with his body and true qi.

Chen Liu could feel that his body was rapidly becoming stronger as it merged with the white particles. After his true energy was absorbed into the white particles, it seemed to become more refined.

"What the hell? Isn't it said that only a Grandmaster can generate divine consciousness and simultaneously allow the true qi to merge with the vital energy of heaven and earth?"

Wang Yuyan: ...

Chapter 133 Yue Lingshan (Part )

[Oh, we're in Fuzhou now! There's a quick-learning martial arts manual here, but forget about the chicken-cutting manual. It doesn't just change your sex life, it changes your personality too. Just thinking about it makes me panic.]

Wang Yuyan: ...

Huang Rong and Mu Nianci: ...

Azhu, Abi and other girls: ...

As he watched the ships approach Fuzhou Port, Chen Liu's thoughts began to wander.

The martial arts in "Swordsman" are pretty poor, with only the Shaolin Yijingjin and Dugu Jiujian being somewhat impressive. However, both are incredibly difficult, and the Dugu Jiujian requires Feng Qingyang to teach. I'm not from Huashan, so Feng Qingyang definitely won't teach me. How about trying to trick Yuyan into going to Huashan and fighting Feng Qingyang? I suspect Feng Qingyang is at most a Grandmaster, and unlikely to be a Grandmaster. If Yuyan can force Feng Qingyang to use the Dugu Jiujian, and let me see it, perhaps I can learn it even faster.

Dugu Nine Swords? Wang Yuyan's thoughts drifted away upon hearing this. Perhaps she could actually go and see it. Wang Yuyan had seen Chen Liu use the Dugu Nine Swords' Sword Breaking Style and Palm Breaking Style before, and Chen Liu had also taught her. They were indeed very powerful sword techniques. If she didn't possess a stronger cultivation than Chen Liu, she wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat him in a mere comparison of moves.

As for the other martial arts in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, the Sunflower Manual is an upgraded version of the Chicken-Cutting Sword Technique, so I'm not going to bother with it. Forget it, forget it. I'll just ignore it for The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. But if I could run into Tian Boguang or Yu Aizi, could I drain their zhenqi or internal energy? There aren't many good people in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer anyway.

In The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, aside from the nuns of the Hengshan Sect and Ning Zhongze of the Huashan Sect, the rest of the Five Mountains Sword Sects are hardly good. Zuo Lengchan isn't a good person, Yue Buqun isn't a good person, Liu Zhengfeng, who disregards his family for so-called friendship, isn't a good person, and even the protagonist, Linghu Chong, isn't a good person. A protagonist like Linghu Chong might seem loyal and manly in his youth, but as he grows older and more experienced, you slowly discover that he's full of flaws. Linghu Chong is arguably the least likable male protagonist in Jin Yong's novels.

After the boat arrived at the shore, Chen Liu instructed the maid of Mantuo Villa to go to the Maritime Customs to register the transaction. He and Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing and other girls got off the boat and went to Fuzhou city for a stroll.

The Fuwei Escort Agency hasn't been destroyed yet, so it seems the plot of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer hasn't even begun. How about I secretly take the Chicken-Cutting Sword Technique and quietly give it to Lin Pingzhi? Pingzhi, well, sooner or later, it's going to be Pingzhi. It's going to be Pingzhi, sooner or later.

Seeing that the Fuwei Escort Agency had not been destroyed, Chen Liu couldn't help but think with some evil humor in his heart.

Chicken-Cutting Sword Technique? What the hell is that? Why would someone give it such an unpleasant name? Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, and the other girls couldn't help but feel puzzled.

[Forget it, leave them alone.]

"Yuyan, when we get back later, we can have the maids take the boat to Songjiang Prefecture and have them transfer to another boat from Songjiang Prefecture to go to Jingzhou by themselves. How about we go to Jingzhou by horseback?"

"Okay!" After sitting on the boat for more than a month, Wang Yuyan felt a little bored. She also wanted to travel by land to see how the customs and habits of the Ming Dynasty differed from those of the Song Dynasty.

……

In the end, Chen Liu did not try the Chicken-Cutting Sword Technique. Even dogs don't practice that sword technique.

After a night's rest in Fuzhou, Chen Liu went to Fuzhou's cattle market the next morning with Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, and the other girls, all wearing yokes, to buy horses. Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong were too beautiful; if they didn't wear yokes, they would easily attract trouble. Fuzhou was in the south, so there were few good horses. Most of them were plow horses and pack horses. These horses couldn't run fast and weren't suitable for battlefields, but they were good enough for riding. If they wanted good horses, they had to go north.

The group from Chen Liu consisted of ten people: Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi, Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo. They bought ten horses. After buying the horses, they left Fuzhou's north gate and walked a short distance before they saw a wild inn.

[Huh? Lao Denuo? Yue Lingshan?]

The people who ran the wild inn were a white-haired old man and an ugly woman with a dark and rough complexion and many acne scars on her face. But as soon as he saw the ugly woman, Chen Liu recognized her as Yue Lingshan.

When Yue Lingshan heard someone suddenly call out her and her second senior brother, Lao Denuo, her expression suddenly changed. She was about to remind her second senior brother, Lao Denuo, but she felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation, as if a single cry would unleash a terrible terror. Fortunately, Yue Lingshan had changed her appearance and covered her face, so no changes were noticeable.

Yue Lingshan turned to look outside the shop and saw a handsome young man with nine women wearing veils passing by, looking into the shop. Seeing the nine girls lift the veils, revealing their true faces, Yue Lingshan couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment. Two of them were particularly beautiful, like fairies. Yue Lingshan considered herself very beautiful, a rare beauty in the area near Mount Hua, but in front of those two beauties, she felt ashamed.

[Damn, what a coincidence? I actually encountered the opening scene of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.]

Originally, Chen Liudu had decided to leave Fuzhou and go to Jingxiang, but after meeting Lao Denuo and Yue Lingshan, he became hesitant again.

The plot of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer has begun, and it's time for the Fuwei Escort Agency to be wiped out. The Fuwei Escort Agency isn't anything special, and neither is the Chicken-Cutting Sword Technique, but there's a big show happening at Hengshan. Want to go see it? And then there's Qu Feiyan. Her intelligence and talent are only rivaled by Rong'er, but her cunning and eccentricity surpasses Rong'er.

Qu Feiyan? Is she as smart and talented as me? Is she even more cunning and eccentric than me? Huang Rong couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when she heard Chen Liu praising Qu Feiyan. She wanted to compete with Qu Feiyan to see who was smarter.

[Unfortunately, he died after only three chapters.]

Huang Rong:......

Wang Yuyan: ...

Azhu, Abi and other girls: ...

[It's a pity for Qu Feiyan. Should we take her in as a maid?]

"Brother Chenliu, would you like to drink?" Wang Yuyan glanced at the wild inn that Lao Denuo and Yue Lingshan had rented out and said with a smile, "The sun is high now, why don't we rest for a while before leaving?"

"Not really, but it's okay to take a break."

"Dear guests, please come in." Lao Denuo quickly invited Chen Liu into the store.

"What food and drinks do you have here?" Chen Liu asked after entering the store.

"We have wine and tea to drink, beef, broad beans, and peanuts to eat. What would you like, sir?" Yue Lingshan lowered her head, her voice clear and pleasant. Her figure...

【Wow, what a nice figure! 】

Yue Lingshan blushed slightly, but Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong couldn't help but roll their eyes secretly.

"Give us all a portion."

"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir."

Chapter 134 Yue Lingshan (Part )

"Boss, I like your daughter. Name your price." Huang Rong suddenly said.

What the hell? Huang Rong suddenly fell in love with Yue Lingshan? Not only Lao Denuo was confused, but Chen Liu was also confused.

"Well, sir, this isn't my daughter, it's my granddaughter." Disguised as an old man, Lao Denuo was somewhat bewildered. He had brought Yue Lingshan, who was insisting on coming down the mountain, to Fuzhou on his master's orders to gather intelligence on the Fuwei Escort Agency. He hadn't expected to take over Lao Cai's wild inn, and while dressed as grandfather and grandson, someone would come looking to buy Yue Lingshan. What the hell?

"It doesn't matter whether it's a daughter or a granddaughter. I want this ugly girl anyway." Huang Rong waved her hand.

"Sir, I won't sell my granddaughter. I'm counting on her to support me in my old age." Lao Denuo shook his head repeatedly. Selling her for nothing? This was the daughter of the head of Donghua Mountain. If he dared to sell her, Yue Buqun would dare to kill him.

"Ten taels of gold." Huang Rong tossed a ten-tael gold ingot to Lao Denuo. She had already guessed that Yue Lingshan must have heard Chen Liu's thoughts, so she absolutely couldn't let her go. She had to take her in as her own sister. Only with strength in numbers could they contend with Wang Yuyan.
